two questions on G37 Seden XS

1-Can I change to 19 inch wheels if I leased the car, or is it recommended ?..
2- How to program the radio station, touching the screen won't do it.

1. Yes. Just make sure you go with a tire size that is within 1% or so of the overall stock sizes. You can check on a website like this:

Tire size calculator

Most people will recommend the same size tire/wheel for the front and rear. This is probably the safest option on the AWD, and how the car comes stock. If you do go staggered (different sized tire/wheel for the front and rear), just make sure (again) that the both the F/R tires are really close to the stock sizes.

2. Just hold down the appropriate 1-2-3-4-5-6 button for a couple of seconds when you are on the station to set the presets.

Thanks on the Tire size site and for the radio, when said "hold down" is it the screen or a button somewhere on the dash.

Thanks I got it.
I love to go 19" on all four wheels, where can I get the best deals and can the 19" holds up well with potholes in NY city.

No, I just renewed my XM radio and mostly I used my Iphone for music and didn't bother with regular radio up to now. I also could have looked for the info elsewhere, on the road now heading to westcoast. The Ipad is great to be in touch with you guys.

19's will give you plenty of cushion on the tire still. The coupe's come stock with 19's, of course it will always depend on what tire you pick but you have plenty of room to do whatever you want especially if you aren't lowering.

since you are in NYC I would go either with 225/45/19 or 245/40/19 tires if you're new to drivign with rims on. I have 245/30/20 tires and drive through Manhattan with no issues

Yup, stock is 225/50/18 and 245/40/19 would be the closest (0.5% different than stock). You would be gong from a 4.4 inch sidewall to 3.9 inch sidewall which should still give you a nice cushion.

Just look for a 19x8.5 or 19x9 wheel. If you do not plan to lower your car look for something around a +35 offset on the 8.5" or +40 on the 9". These are conservative offsets for a non-lowered car, and you can go a lower on both if you would like. If you plan to lower or want something more aggressive, go with a lower offset (I would go with at least a 10mm lower offset if you plan to lower your car).

I can't really recommend wheels because there are so many different styles and prices. Look around in the sedan picture section to get an idea of what you like.

Thanks bro and I don't have plans to lower the car.
